…in social-documentary-photography should always be a tribute to frailness and consequently to death itself.
“Photography for me is a means, providing with a pretext for myself to go places, the camera primarily bestowing a veneer of legitimacy for my presence towards the others.
I am taking photos to the ends of making observations and gaining experiences with the ultimate purpose of ‘creating my own essence’.
I as the author of my photos, am not so much concerned with formal and aesthetic issues per se but rather do I utilize the medium as a catalyst for my contemplations.
There are no additional agendas, no call to arms to fight abject injustices or a vocation to follow beauty into its liar not even the notion of one's duty to document the obscenities and vulgarities of life.
If anything I seek to catch the whispers of suffering and lunacy rather than its hysteria.” - Nicolas Holzheu
